INTRODUCTION
This present essay is going to show consequences of overpopulation as how it is affecting
people. Further, it will also show and discuss some reasons of increasing population along with
ways to mitigate all problems.
MAIN BODY
Discussion of articles of overpopulation
In the context of overpopulation it can be said that it refers a state where population of
human rises to the great extent or to estimated capacity. Overpopulation is when, available
resources remains lack behind or number of people of using basic and other resources for
survival rises. When all people cannot have access to food, shelter, water and others resources
then this state is known as over population. This state can be dangerous for people and societies
because it rises or increases crimes. Everyone needs food and water for living and for fostering
their family and when they do not have access then they become bind to commit crimes like pick
pocketing, stabbing and others. By doing so they get money by which they can buy food and
essential materials which are required for living (Judge, 2018).
In addition, it can also be said that due to overpopulation people do not get access to
food, water and other important resources as one of the main reasons is lack of employment
opportunities. Employment is less than population and it is increasing competition and everyone
wants to be in this race. When they do not get job opportunities as per their experience then they
commit suicide and other crimes. In addition, in the context of consequences of overpopulation it
can also be said that it does not only increase crimes like theft, kidnapping but also increasing
domestic violence. When people become frustrated when they do not get what they want then
they raise domestic violence in frustration.
From article 2 some reasons of overpopulation is being identified which can help out in
initiatives for reducing population. One of the main reasons which are being identified is lack of
education in some group of people about sexes. So, in this context it can be said that by
providing access to people about safe contraceptive options and education about sexes crimes
which are increasing due to overpopulation can be reduced. Other reason is governmental
policies about providing rewards to parents who have more children also become reason of
overpopulation (Gray, 2017). Integration lessons on population and environment into school

curricula at multiple levels can also be the best and effective way of solving all problems related
to overpopulation. Boosting childbearing is also main reason of increasing population so in this
reason it can be said that rather child boosting, by adjusting aging population via government
incentives consequences of overpopulation can be mitigated.
CONCLUSION
From the above discussed study it has been concluded that overpopulation is creating
several problems for societies and people to the great extent. Further, it has also shown some
reasons as why population is increasing such as lack of education about sexes. By knowing all
reasons some effective steps and ways have been taken for solving all problems.
